we spent some time last night. We will talk to
John Paul Morosi coming up in a few minutes about
very excited.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, the over.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Under for losses for the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Being he's a positive guy, we can't we can't even
bring that up with him. No, that might bring him.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Down now we have to we kind of have to. Uh,
I will sell you this and I believe the one
hundred percent. Obviously it's gonna be show Hao Tani because
he's gonna go fifty to fifty, all right, show Heo
Tani is the NL m VP. But boy, I'll tell
you what. Outside of him, I can make a great
case that the only other choice is Francisco Lindor. I
(01:28):
can really make a great case that he or Grimace. Okay,
grim could be there, actually Grimace ahead of Otani because
the Mets are like twenty games over five hundred, since
grimas throughout the first pickmas Otani and then Lindor.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Looking at Fox Sports dot Com and n L MVP
odds leaders, you've got Otani at minus fifty eight eighty two. Yeah,
like I said, he's gonna go fifty to fifty. Come on,
man Layden door at seven to one, yep. And then
Marcelo Zuna is at forty five to one, having a
Marte one hundred and twenty to one, day La Cruz
(02:03):
two hundred to one. Harper.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
These guys are having great years and because of Otani
being the fifty to fifty, it makes no doubt no,
and that's and that's the worst part of the day.
Hey what was his bet? Like, well, he don't.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
We having arguments long after I'm dead on sports raining.
It's like, boy, you know the Otani year and it's like, well,
what was Bryce Harper's best year? It's like, well, was
that actually the same year as that o'donne? Yeah it's not.
But you get my point, Like and going down in
American League the same thing. Yeah, guys having monster season
doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, Bobby wit Junior, Just what a year for Bobby
Witt Junior. Aaron Judge is gonna have seventy home runs,
one hundred and sixty harpies. It's gonna have a war
of fourteen. I mean, come on, you're a Judge.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Current al MVP odds minus forty five hundred, Yeah, minus
forty five hundred, forty five. Talking about divisions in football,
it's like, hey, they're a prohibited favorite at minus three hundred,
minus forty five hundred. Bobby Witt Junior is thirteen to one.
His teammate one's Sodo going back to New York sixty
five to one. Yeah, and look at a year easy Yeah,
(03:05):
but hey, hey, but look it's Henderson's one hundred and
twenty to one.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Hey, with Soto Battan behind judge, it's been a great year.
I mean really, I mean, I mean, I mean you
when you have a guy like that Batton behind you
every game, No, you're going to it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, now I gotta say.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
See what I did there? See what I did there?
Since I did there? With that?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Now and at least this time.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
What soda? Go ahead? Sorry, at least this.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Time the player is actually on the damn.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It is true.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That is true. Yeah, trying to talk him.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, and he didn't say Mario Soto. At least Mario
Soto come.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Oh, nice, classic reference late seventies reds.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Cards, a big red machine, a great, great red story. Yeah,
it's just a fun red story. So when I went
to baseball camp, that was my favorite camp ever. Go
to baseball camp when I was like seven, eight, nine,
ten years old, and every day when got hottest out
from two thirty to three thirty, we watched reels of
old World Series, right, and so it was you know,
(04:03):
we watched it was like what they put together, like
here's a highlight of the of the of the World
Series and the team I played on. We were the Mets,
right cause I named my team We're the Mets. We're
the Mets, or the Mets were the Mets. They had
to be. And I was so enraptured with the big
red machine because the way they put it together is
I made everything look red and how they won in
seventy six and they swept the Yankees, and it was
so cool because the Yankees stuted Yankees Lasar and they
(04:26):
made a big red machine. They would show Joe Morgan
hit a home run, they would turn the chroma key
on it would turn red. I walked away going, we're
the Reds. Now where the Reds? Where the Reds? The
Reds in the season And my coach is like, you
don't even like the Reds. Yeah, but look how good
they were. And they beat the Yankees because you know,
in nineteen eighty the Mets were in nineteen thirty nine,
the Mets were terrible. So we were the Reds were Reds, Reds,
red Reds, Reds. Right after that, I chain made everybody
(04:48):
change from the Mets that I named the team, and
I made everybody change that I had that kind of influence,
and then you were investigated for being a communist Yeah,
well there was there was that too.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now we'll have more baseball coming up in a bit.
We'll ask an answer a big question as we look
at absolute history from about three different angles in Major
League Baseball. But uh, you know, sometimes things sound like
a good idea and then you actually set out to
do it and at one point or another year go,
(05:21):
maybe this wasn't the best idea.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
A bridge too far, r you chew, over ambitious, spread
yourself a little thing.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, all those things. Yeah, not always the biggest. It's
very difficult, and you got to that point to get stars. Man,
but then you're committed and it's well, now he's have
to make the best of this. Darius Slay, who is
defensive back for the Philadelphia Eagles, did an interview about
sixteen hours ago in which he was asked about the
(05:53):
first game in Brazil coming up on Friday, because don't
forget we have Thursday night football and then we have
Friday night football in bridze Zil. The first game, and
I mean this game is in South America. This is
the NFL's here for the first time, and we're getting
the Packers and the Eagles, which is a really good game. Hey,
we're throwing this out there, so what's it like, what's
(06:13):
it going to be like? How do they feel about
playing the first game ever in Brazil? Well, here is
Darius Slay who did this interview, and I think he's
going to be elected the new director of Tourism for
the country of Brazil because here's what he has been
told about the game.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
We were not am looking forward to it. I can't wait.
But man, I do not want to go to Brazil.
And you want to know why. I'm going to tell
you why. They already told us not to lead a hotel.
They told us we can't do too much going on
because it's the crowd rate. It's crazy, you know what
I'm saying. I'm like, NFL, why do you all want
to send us somewhere with the crowd rate this high?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And like we got the.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Country, so you know, the first thing people think is
like something terbor can possibly happen.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I told my family do not come down there because
I'm not gonna know where to be found. That would
be in a hotel, chilling mount of my business playing
my gay at the loan nine and a half hour flight,
so I don't have no intentions on doing thathing, I'm
gonna eat hotel food, I'm doing everything. But they said, yeah, man,
it'll be pretty crazy down there.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Uh police said they gonna be you know, try to
be the best. They could possibly be, the top flight
security of the world, create you know what I'm saying.
So we hope for that, man, But I'll do go
down there to come down there with a win.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't wait for week one, but man, I do
not want to go to prison.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And then they're gonna transport us to the stadium in
the Popemobile.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Remember the crazy Remember the misinformation in the game of
Telephone that went on over the color Green?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's three months ago. Wait,
what do you mean, well, both teams are in Green.
Oh that's unfortunately it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Was all about crime. It's like, no, it's actually think
about the soccer team. We should have either way once
that get got out and everybody started getting nervous.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
There should have had the bucks in the Browns. That's
my fault and I'll take responsibility for that. SI we're
bringing into Green Tea.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Like this, like it'd be great international travel. We're gonna
get an international game. This would be great. Family's never
been abroad, they've never seen Germany, they've never seen London,
they've never been in.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
They're not gonna see in Brazil. You're not leaving a hotel.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well no, But the point is, oh, where do we
get sent We got sent to Brazil. Yeah you can't go?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, no, at least at least if you're the NFL.
How about if you can't leave like an all inclusive resort,
So you can't leave, but you can still have a
good time on vacation.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
But he's I want the leaks of whatever official communications
coming from the league about the things they stay in
the hotel. You know this, stay in the hotel is
the first bullet points in the five page document. First
rule about the Brazil game, Stay in the hotel. Second
rule about the Brazil game, Stay in the hotel. I
(08:53):
know this is the NFL at this point. This is
where it's at, because is this gonna be awful? This
means that we're going to get stuff like this all
the time. No, at this point in time, the NFL
is saying, look, do us a solid play the game
and we won't send you guys back to Brazil again.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, we understand what we're doing to you. We won't
send you out of country again. Just play this game
and be cool about it, because look, I get what
the NFL is doing, much like they're doing with the
streaming partners, right, they're trying them out over the next
five years. Right, we're signing small deals with Amazon, with
other places Peacock to give you some football games. And
(09:30):
we're trying things out because we know by the time
we get close to twenty thirty that it's going to
be streaming rights for all NFL games.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
We want to know that if we're entrusting our product
to streaming and we're going to cash that multi billion
dollar check, we want to know we're actually putting the
product in good hands. So they're trying. That's why they
didn't say, hey, look at this, Amazon wants to give
us all this money for the AFC. We're going to
do it. You know. That's why they're sitting here and saying, Okay,
we're going to try a bunch of different places out.
It's the same thing here, fellas. Look, we have to
(10:01):
continue to try to go global. We've we've worked things
out in London pretty well. We've worked things out in Germany.
Now pretty well, we have to go to South America.
This doesn't mean suddenly, hey, well you guys made it.
We're gonna send two more teams down to Brazil. They
may never go down to Brazil again, but they're gonna
continue to try to find new places where they can
grow the NFL. So that's really what this is about.
This is this isn't a huge money grant. Well, obviously
(10:23):
they're getting money, but this is not one of those
we're blindly grabbing money and putting players in danger. We
are we you know, we're doing this because we want
to continue to grow the game. Some games are better
than others, and I wish it wouldn't be if you're
at the point where you're saying, hey, stay in the hotel,
like dude, you're you're killing us with this. You owe us.
The Eagles and the Packers have to say, guys, you
owe us. We open at home for the next three years. Okay,
we each of us opened at home for the next
(10:44):
like you gotta. We'll do you a solid here and
we'll play this game and we'll tell Darius Lay dude,
no more interviews, right, you're killing Brazil. No one wants
to go. It's enough that they have killer spiders there.
They're as big as my head. Like it's not now,
I a.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Reading an article about a knife wielding monkey that was
taken over a town really in Brazil. Wow, okay, and
then they're taking over a town and then they got
him away from the and then he came back.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You just watch that's gonna be in the Cocaine Bear
universe of movies. Now, well, the shark Cocaine Bear, and yeah,
the Shark's coming. It's gonna be the knife wielding monkey,
and there's gonna be It's all gonna be in that
world there. Man just gonna keep dropping cocaine on different animals. Man,
and see what happens. That's what it's gonna be. Well,
I mean, watch out, scientific experimentation. That's how we learn
be great. If they use the same Matthew Reece Davis,
the same guy in every movie, and they just use
(11:29):
the same thing where he's flying in the plane, he
hits his head as he sorry spoiler, he hits his
head as he goes out and everything falls out. It's
just on something different that the opening movie is the
exact same. You know, every movie open to the exact same.
He falls out, he hits his head, and now this
is Cocaine Bear. This is Cocaine Monkey. This is what
you never know what you're gonna get. No shows up
on cable TV as a wild card. Oh, it's like, which.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
One am I getting?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Press a button? He goes, But Cocaine Bear, get the bear?
The original?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Did I get the boar?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
The Cocaine boar a little bit more low to the ground.
There's a lot of force perspective the way that's shot,
because the boar is really low to the ground. But
I mean, look, this is it's it's unfortunate for the NFL,
and I get there's gonna be a lot of criticism
for the NFL for playing this game. Look, I'm sure
when they decided on this, they didn't know it was
going to be this way, and it's something they tried.
Hopefully they'll be a little bit better in the future.
(12:24):
But this doesn't mean suddenly we're going to go the
reason behind it. I understand why they're trying to.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Even doing this, Like, you know, reputation, not the Taylor
Swift album, but the idea of where you're going in
the world. You're not naive, like you know, crime statistics.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I don't want to go to Brazil.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I kind of do.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, there's a lot of topless beaches in Brazil. I
think all the beaches are topless. Actually if I'm not,
I don't know if if you want to add, but
I think there's combination topless beaches with the killer spiders.
So you really it's it's you gotta pay attention. Falling
asleep on the beach is very days. I'm just gonna
say I think the beach wins.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Over the spiders.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Of the spiders.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You know, you try to get a Shatner movie in it,
and you try.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
To run into the water, but there's the water spiders
that come out and are actually bigger because of the
radioactive material that was jumped into the to the to
the water by a guy with the headset wasn't paying attention.
And so now here's underwater spiders.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What you did not if the look they're creating a
whole universe, but it's the idea that you already know
what you're going into. And and maybe the players weren't
as in tune. Yeah, the League office, there's no surprises,
Danny of this, No and.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They're they're hoping play the game. Everybody when the plane,
when the planes land, all right, we're good when they
land back, and that we're good. We're good, and they'll
be make goods and whatever, and but no, but fin
start treatment. But the biggest takeaway from here is the
Eagles and the Packers say, Okay, you're now gonna do
this for us, right, We're gonna we're gonna get Thanksgiving
(13:56):
Day games, We're gonna get home games beginning. We're gonna
get this. We're gonna You're not gonna put us on
hard knocks.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We're gonna do all. We're gonna. We're playing this game.
And you told us it's too dangerous to go outside,
so you're gonna give us something back. Now that that's
where you really need to understand. This is where we
have leverage. But like the whole.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Green controversy, I want to know what the verbiage was.
Was it coming from the league or someone of the
team just decided to strike fear And these guys look
because they don't want to open one for potential chaos
that way. But the other of hey, they find a
nice party crowd and all of a sudden they're not
back at their hotels and they're not ready for game day, right,
(14:35):
because that's the other part that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Flows through it.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So maybe there's a little uh Vegas misdirection going on
as well. It's like, I don't know if the league
really I mean, do we get the Troy McClure tape
of Ah, you're in Brazil. Here things you need to
know about wandering away from your hotel, exit out, a
bout of Fresca, exit swelling down. The Jason Smith Show
(14:58):
with my best friend Mike Carmin the tire dot Com Studios,
So Eagles Packers hold out, get everything everything from the
NFL before you play this game.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's gonna work.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Welcome back in Jason Smith Show with Me Mike Carmon
live fromth tirerac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios. Less
than forty eight hours will be either it's stolling the
virtues or cursing NFL players and teams and fantasy decisions
that you made. But in the interim I got Smith
(16:06):
dancing down the hallway if you was the bets one.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
If you are cursing fantasy decisions after the first game
of the season, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Don't you normally do that before you leave your draft? Anyway,
at least twice I hate my team.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh yeah yeah, but see I always like my team
after it's done.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
See. I generally have one or two guys where I'm
immediately like something has already pushed me down a deep
dark path that I've screwed up a position.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Hands of it, you said, going down a deep dark path.
Well that's my life right now. That gets us to
our next guest joining us now in the hot Line
longtime MLW network insider, friend of the show, co host
of Stearns Hey and the Pope, The Morning Show sweeping
the Country. Oh yeah, he's on Twitter at John Morosi.
It is the aforementioned John Paul Morosi. Pope. What's happening, man?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I'm doing great, my friends. I wonder which of you
will have I'm on Ross Saint Brown starting for them
in the first first week.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Of the season. Got to have a top five pick
to get him. Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Now, now tell us the truth. Did you just look
up who that was right before you came on the
air with us?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
No, No, you forget, you forget. Every week last year
I predicted they would win twenty seven to fourteen, and
I watched eagerly to see if I'd be correct, and
a couple of times I was. I felt pretty good.
I think about it. You the Lion had a great season.
(17:33):
I predicted him to win every single week, and so
by that measure, I was well above five hundred as
a as a pro football predictor.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You picked them to score twenty seven points every week.
Every week there was maybe in a short week, yeah,
short were coming back on Thursday, short week twenty four points.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Okay, well, I act go back think about how many
times they actually hit twenty seven. There were definitely I
actually remember this. I was I was driving to I
was driving to Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame reveal
(18:13):
in mid January as Lions were playing the Buccaneers in
the playoffs, and I remember I literally exited off of
a small town in New York because they were about
to win that game twenty seven to fourteen or whatever.
It was close, and I basically said, I need to
call into Fox Sports Radio at this moment in time
(18:35):
and just like Mark, mark the history, because I was
almost going to be right. And as I look at
it right now, it looks like they scored. Yeah, they
never scored twenty seven, but they did score twenty six
against the Raiders on October thirty, and then it'll win.
So I was close.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, now you mentioned history. Now I have to
throw this by. I know, Harmon said, oh, in to me,
John Paul's not going to want to talk about. Buddy's
going to have to because it's a thing. It's no
longer a question of if. But just by how many losses,
the White Sox set the record for worst record in
MLB history if I put the over under for losses
(19:12):
of them at one hundred and twenty five, John Paul,
are you taking the over or the under at this point?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
The over the over. It's unbelievable, really, and its it's
actually remarkable at the and this is just sort of
part of the sports fans mindset. How we've got Otani
at a bid for fifty to fifty and Judge nearing
sixty homers. Again, all of these big market teams involved
(19:41):
in fascinating division races, and yet the White Sox are
one of the most fascinating stories in baseball, and people
forget Grady Sizemore is the manager of this team. And
at some point I almost want him to just put
himself into the game and pitch it himself for someone.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, yeah, just just like when Corbyn Burns and activated
himself in Major League two when he owned.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
The type we're getting. We're getting to that point because
at least at least set some other records. I supposed
to just the losses. Let's see the first player manager
in the major leagues in a couple two or three decades.
This would be fun, But the guys the play tonight.
(20:29):
The myths pop up. It's just it keeps going and
going with no apparent end in sight. I'll say this though,
sometimes when when you get right up to the end
of it, strange things will happen. The Tigers in three,
you know, in a game that would have tied them
(20:49):
with the sixty two Mets, they were losing eight nothing
to a team that won the division and the Twins,
and the Tigers came back and won that game nine
to eight. Uh and so.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Sometimes, yeah, I don't know how strange I was John
Paul as if Wow, really they came back that much
down to win that game and that was all on
were legit and above board. Yeah, that was the game
that always struck me as.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Hey, hey, lift, how.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Legit was that?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I think that was a legitimately one game by the
Detroit Tigers of Alan Trammel and I believe when you
looked at that at that roster, more than a handful
of players when they played that last game, that was
the last game they ever played in the major leagues.
That was that was it? I think? Uh yeah. Warren Morris.
(21:41):
Warren Morris batted second for the Tigers in Game one
sixty two, started at second base and never played in
the major leagues again. He batted second in that game?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Wow, that's piece of knowledge for it is right.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That is art trivia, all right. So as we get
down the stretch, right, we're talking about health and everything else.
Are we going to see Clay Gershaw again before the
season ends?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
My goodness, that is a massive question. And I think
you could also in this overall conversation about the Dodgers
pitching staff, you could put Glassnow's name in that blank. Now,
I think Yamamoto is getting a little closer, so there's
a little more positivity. And by the way, tonight, for me,
I realized a lot of focus on the return of
(22:27):
Otani to Orange County. But for me, the fact that
Walker Bueler was able to give them at least five
solid innings was really important for them. He's not the
ace or the co ace that got them to the
World Series in twenty twenty, but they need some more
stability in this rotation, and with Kershaw, the struggles for
(22:49):
him to even it sounds like, walk comfortably and just
do basic athletic things. It's a real struggle right now
for Kershaw and the Dodgers. So it's hard to guess,
but I would I would say it's no more than
just a flip of the coin, somewhat distant possibility that
(23:11):
we see him as as a difference maker for them
in October. And that's what the standard is here. It's
not can we hope and see if maybe he comes
back for a couple of innings in October. That's not
who they need. It's apparent to me right now that
the guy they were hoping he would be that his
body's just not letting him do it. And that's not
(23:33):
his fault, it's not anyone's fault. It's just that's that's
where he's at physically right now. And so for the Dodgers,
if they're going to advance, it's gonna have to be
with Stone and potentially even Mueller, but certainly Yamamoto. They
hope Glass, now, they hope Clarity. That's gonna be the
group that has to get them through. And I think
(23:54):
Kershaw at this point is a bonus if everything goes perfectly.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The MLB Network Insider with us to Jason Smiths and
with Mike Carmon Live the tyrec dot Com studios. All right,
John Paul, I will ask this even though I know
we're going to lose a listener because my dad is
going to turn off the radio. I want to ask
this question, Uh, the Yankees, Oh boy, Clay Holmes blows
his eleventh save of the season tonight a walk off
Grand Slam. Rangers beat the Yankees seven to four. For
(24:23):
all the positives the Yankees have going for them, they
they just seem to find new ways to to get
a leak in their ship. And now the back end
of the bullpen has been so unbelievably shaky. Where do
you make where the Yankees are right.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Now with this? This is an issue that is not
going away for them. And you think back and there
have been other teams. I reflect back on Brad Ledge
with the Nine Phillies. They're able to get to the
World Series still, but you had a really good closer,
great closer who just had a really bad year in
(24:58):
Lydge's case, and it feels like the same thing as
happening with Holmes. And in this case, again, you're so
far into the season now, the trade deadline is well
passed us. They don't if they had a better option
in the ninth inning, they would have gone to him
by now, that's that's what I'm seeing. They've they've cycled
through different options and during the course of the year,
(25:20):
signing players who were discarded elsewhere. It's and I think
part of it too, is their rotation at the moment
is not really built to give you seven innings every
time out. They're they're having to go earlier with some
of their their bridge pitchers to give them options, and
I think it's it's left the situation where they need
(25:42):
Holmes to be great, and he simply hasn't been. And now,
of course a comfortable win for the Orioles tonight over
the White Sox, the Orioles now are the team where
the half game lead in the American League East, which
I did not expect to be saying right now. I
thought there were moments in the last couple of weeks
where I felt as though the Yankee were starting to
get a little bit of separation and and things going
(26:03):
in their direction. But I just think there's not enough,
not nearly enough certainty with this bullpen. I think Kinley's
been good for them during the course of the year. Weaver,
I think, has been a guy that's given them multiple
innings and very very solidly so but Tonkin has already
been moved on. Tim Hill to the Lefty is having now
a more prominent role. Mark Leider Junior has been. Really
(26:26):
I think a little disappointing is coming over at the
trade trade deadline that they brought Tim Maza back in
from the Blue Jays. There's a lot of guys they're
counting on and really none of whom I feel are
necessarily what they need. And they also have to hope
they get something back from from Louise Heeler or Schmidt
because they could potentially be options for them in the playoffs.
(26:47):
But again they're still both on the IL. So a
lot of questions right now for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Maybe they just moved Daverghetty to close it your problems.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
He could do both right there. Strategy worked with with
Mario Rivera, Ramiro Mendoza once upon a time. Get that
very few us. How about that you did not think
that this conversation would include I'm on Ross Saint Brown
and Ramiro Mendoza. I'd say that we have the odds
(27:17):
yet again.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah. Ramiro Mendoza though one of those great middle relievers.
When hold Morris by the way, Warren Moore and Warren Morris.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
There's there's your checking never playing again in the major
leagues after the final game of three.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
All right, JP, last one Big NFL previews show forty
eight hours until we get things kicked off. We're doing
surprise playoff teams.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
You got one or two for us surprise playoff teams
in the National Football League. You're saying, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Or you want to do surprise playoff teams in Major
League Baseball?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I know if you let's do either one of this.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
In in in Major League Baseball? Could I even say
that that that in this case, the Mets are still
a surprise, Yeah, because because to me, they have all
the momentum right now. Jason the Francisco Lindora, I think
what he's been able to do has been really impressive
of late. The thirty homer season the fifth of his career.
(28:11):
Only A Rod has more thirty homer seasons as a
primary shortstop. So good on Lindor. Actually, the Tigers are
are sort of that peripheral team that might actually be
be one that that makes some noise late. I still
think it's a long shot, but they're playing a lot better.
All Right, here we go. So long shot NFL playoff teams.
(28:33):
All right, this will be preserved only if I'm correct.
If I'm wrong, then it's just among friends. Right. So
I've got I've got the Cleveland Browns being they're they're
They're may be on the cusp of being a solid
playoff team, but they seem to be at least a
little bit down in the Super Bowl odds. So I've
got I'm gonna go all Midwest here, the Cleveland Browns
(28:56):
and the Chicago Bears. I've got the Bears. I know that,
you know, the change over it at quarterback in the
last couple of years. I get that, But I think
that they will find a way with this new energy
around the Bears to squeak into the playoffs. That's it's
a long shot prediction, but that's what you ask for.
So I've got the Bears and the Browns as both
being playoff teams this year.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
How about that you and me both have the Bears, buddy, Yeah,
I feel pretty good, JP, I feel.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Pretty good about that.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Like and by the way, this game on Saturday at
Michigan Stadium, I tend to think Texas wins it twenty
to thirteen. That's why that's my Texas twenty Michigan thirteen.
Just to prove to you that this is not just
pro Detroit and pro Michigan bias on this. On this conversation,
I'm predicting a seven point Longhorns win.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morosi,
MLB Network insider Extraordinaire John Paul. I sent you a
note for the next time you talk to Sternsey. Nice
job in the pitching lab with David Peterson. You don't
give up on left handed pitchers. Very nice.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I will let him know, David Peterson, the change up
has been better, the sinker has been better. And I
had no idea, by the way, that the current spread
for that Texas Michigan game was Texas minus seven and
a half. I just I just thought, there you go,
seven point win for the Longhorns.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I see you, buddy, you enjoyed the games this weekend.
There goes John pal Morosi. I mean, wait that the
Tigers are right on the Royals tail. I mean they
have played Look, this is what when you get to
September if you're playing five hundred baseball. And I don't
mean like five games under. No, if you were right,
if you're a game over at five, you are in it.
(30:34):
You're in it. That's how it works in baseball. Now
you're the Tiger, Like, whoa, we're talking about how hot
the Royal's been. Look at the Tigers, man, Holy crap,
I mean they're right.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
There, one game over five hundred, entering the night four
and a half games off the pace into for that
first wild card slot.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith's
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon lock from the Tireck dot Com Studios. And Uh,
there's been a big trend the last few years in
sports where somebody young made a mistake, many potentially gave
somebody pink GUYE we don't know, allegedly and that story allegedly,
(31:28):
and that story would be hidden until the moment where
said person does something really good and Toda, it goes public.
Today was that day for USC quarterback Miller Moss, who
had an incredible opening game, the poise that he showed
(31:49):
his patience in the pocket, the way he delivered the ball,
he was fantastic. Us. He's going to be just fine
without Caleb Williams. Today's story breaks and it's a couple
of years old at this point, and there's video of
it on TMZ, and it's documented that Miller Moss had
an incident with a roommate a couple of years ago,
(32:10):
and there's video of Miller Moss doing things in his
room with his roommate's belongings that you don't want to
see people do. He's rummaging through a closet looking for clothes.
He says, I'm going to steal his shirt and wear
his roommate's shirt. And at one point, he grabs a
pillow off his roommate's bed and farts on it. And
(32:31):
because I keep thinking, actually, I keep thinking about knocked
up when they knock on the door. Yeah, sorry, we're
all here. You know, Jay farted on my pillow and
now we all have pink guy, and I just keep
thinking of that sea when that shirt. Hey, none of
us can go out. Uh. So this story gets released
today and it's shocking that you think, Wow, how long
(32:52):
has this story been out there? Could have released, this
story could have got out it anytime, even after the
Bowl game last year. It could have got yeah moment, man,
but now here is maybe, Oh, we'll wait for something bigger.
And now to no one's surprised this story that has
been held on too by whoever. Now it gets out
to not excusing Miller Moss, not excusing for going through
(33:12):
your roommate stuff. Makes me think what happened when I
was out in a room. Me and my roommate didn't
get a lot. In my freshman year, I had two roommates.
I was in a triple because I was stupid. Oh
note to self, when you're applying for colleges, they say
what you want out of a roommate. You don't want
a roommate who smokes, and you don't want to You
don't want two roommates. You want to make sure one
roommate and no smoking. That's you want. So I, me
and my one roommate, we couldn't get along at all.
(33:32):
Like he was just he would he would argue things
without logic, and it just drove me crazy. And that's
the one The one thing I've never really had patience
for is someone who doesn't have logic when they talk
about things. And we didn't get along at all. And
there's times when I'm like, how many times has I
gone from the room? Need do any do anything?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
And right now I'm fully expecting Twitter to blow up
at how about a fresco? I had swollen your last statements.
But certainly, yeah, it's there's that element of risk with
all of it, Right, It's the same thing you go
through the drive through how many videotapes do you need
to see that there's that point zero zero one point
zero zero two percent chance that someone there's some malfeasons
(34:11):
going on with your beverage or something else. It's out
there and you just trust that people are going to
be on their better behavior. Best is always way too yeah,
because you can't ask for best. You can ask for better,
but best is too much. But in this case, yeah,
it's it's the kind of thing where tabloid journalism still
(34:31):
still sells, but the timing of it is impeccable. USC
jumps ten spots in the rankings, They get a huge win.
Moss had bought bided his time quite well. Learning had
the bowl game, and now as USC gets ready for
this next next big test, sure let's get that story out.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
It's just it's just insane when I think of it,
this like and this is stuff that there's of it.
I mean, you're a quarterback of the football team. Man,
don't take video doing stuff like that. Like, first of all,
don't do stuff like that. Well, in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Four, one of your roommates, if you're in a multi situation,
probably has the room rigged in case they like think
you're stealing their stuff or messing with them. M hm,
So that night vision camera would be coming into effect anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
But really, when I saw the story, I'm like, oh, man,
he used to pull the guy's pillow. And I really
I went back to freshman year. I said, we fought
about everything because the guy. I mean I I couldn't.
He couldn't. I couldn't have a sensical conversation with him
about stuff. It was maddening. It was so maddening.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He ever gets really sick that year, and I really
understand how or why.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Maybe I did it some point, bring you some homemade
foods on a trip home.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
No, I would have never taken home. I would have
never taken homemade food. No, never, would have never done that.
I'm to borrow from Charlie Sheen and eight men out.
I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid, all right,
I'm not. I'm not going to do that. But I
really I started thinking about all the times I was away,
I had an electric blanket, and I had different things
and wouldn't and I don't. I don't know. I don't
(36:09):
know why I thought. I I just thought about is
just a roommate.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I don't relate to all those folks that might have
thought ill of you at any point in your life. Yeah,
but how many of them had access to my Not
many of them had access to my room when I
wasn't there, well in a dorm? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
What I was? That guy hated you? You didn't have
to worry about just him? Oh no, no, no, fred
Oh he didn't have a lot of friends.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
No, doesn't need a lot. He needs one because they
might have a lot of friends. What see? And then,
why why are you.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Doing this to me?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You're getting now I feel even worse, Hetchel pink guy.
From now, I'm going to the doctor right now. So on,
I'm gonna go to the doctor. I want you, it's
like an house. I want you to check me for
something that happened twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Can you check for that? Did you go swimming in
a pond sometime in the last thirty years? Yes? Oh,
you have an immunal globulin deficient in Brazil. Oh man.

we spent some time last night. We will talk to
John Paul Morosi coming up in a few minutes about
very excited.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, the over.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Under for losses for the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Being he's a positive guy, we can't we can't even
bring that up with him. No, that might bring him.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Down now we have to we kind of have to. Uh,
I will sell you this and I believe the one
hundred percent. Obviously it's gonna be show Hao Tani because
he's gonna go fifty to fifty, all right, show Heo
Tani is the NL m VP. But boy, I'll tell
you what. Outside of him, I can make a great
case that the only other choice is Francisco Lindor. I
(01:28):
can really make a great case that he or Grimace. Okay,
grim could be there, actually Grimace ahead of Otani because
the Mets are like twenty games over five hundred, since
grimas throughout the first pickmas Otani and then Lindor.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Looking at Fox Sports dot Com and n L MVP
odds leaders, you've got Otani at minus fifty eight eighty two. Yeah,
like I said, he's gonna go fifty to fifty. Come on,
man Layden door at seven to one, yep. And then
Marcelo Zuna is at forty five to one, having a
Marte one hundred and twenty to one, day La Cruz
(02:03):
two hundred to one. Harper.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
These guys are having great years and because of Otani
being the fifty to fifty, it makes no doubt no,
and that's and that's the worst part of the day.
Hey what was his bet? Like, well, he don't.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
We having arguments long after I'm dead on sports raining.
It's like, boy, you know the Otani year and it's like, well,
what was Bryce Harper's best year? It's like, well, was
that actually the same year as that o'donne? Yeah it's not.
But you get my point, Like and going down in
American League the same thing. Yeah, guys having monster season
doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, Bobby wit Junior, Just what a year for Bobby
Witt Junior. Aaron Judge is gonna have seventy home runs,
one hundred and sixty harpies. It's gonna have a war
of fourteen. I mean, come on, you're a Judge.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Current al MVP odds minus forty five hundred, Yeah, minus
forty five hundred, forty five. Talking about divisions in football,
it's like, hey, they're a prohibited favorite at minus three hundred,
minus forty five hundred. Bobby Witt Junior is thirteen to one.
His teammate one's Sodo going back to New York sixty
five to one. Yeah, and look at a year easy Yeah,
(03:05):
but hey, hey, but look it's Henderson's one hundred and
twenty to one.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Hey, with Soto Battan behind judge, it's been a great year.
I mean really, I mean, I mean, I mean you
when you have a guy like that Batton behind you
every game, No, you're going to it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, now I gotta say.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
See what I did there? See what I did there?
Since I did there? With that?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Now and at least this time.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
What soda? Go ahead? Sorry, at least this.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Time the player is actually on the damn.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It is true.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That is true. Yeah, trying to talk him.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, and he didn't say Mario Soto. At least Mario
Soto come.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Oh, nice, classic reference late seventies reds.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Cards, a big red machine, a great, great red story. Yeah,
it's just a fun red story. So when I went
to baseball camp, that was my favorite camp ever. Go
to baseball camp when I was like seven, eight, nine,
ten years old, and every day when got hottest out
from two thirty to three thirty, we watched reels of
old World Series, right, and so it was you know,
(04:03):
we watched it was like what they put together, like
here's a highlight of the of the of the World
Series and the team I played on. We were the Mets,
right cause I named my team We're the Mets. We're
the Mets, or the Mets were the Mets. They had
to be. And I was so enraptured with the big
red machine because the way they put it together is
I made everything look red and how they won in
seventy six and they swept the Yankees, and it was
so cool because the Yankees stuted Yankees Lasar and they
(04:26):
made a big red machine. They would show Joe Morgan
hit a home run, they would turn the chroma key
on it would turn red. I walked away going, we're
the Reds. Now where the Reds? Where the Reds? The
Reds in the season And my coach is like, you
don't even like the Reds. Yeah, but look how good
they were. And they beat the Yankees because you know,
in nineteen eighty the Mets were in nineteen thirty nine,
the Mets were terrible. So we were the Reds were Reds, Reds,
red Reds, Reds. Right after that, I chain made everybody
(04:48):
change from the Mets that I named the team, and
I made everybody change that I had that kind of influence,
and then you were investigated for being a communist Yeah,
well there was there was that too.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now we'll have more baseball coming up in a bit.
We'll ask an answer a big question as we look
at absolute history from about three different angles in Major
League Baseball. But uh, you know, sometimes things sound like
a good idea and then you actually set out to
do it and at one point or another year go,
(05:21):
maybe this wasn't the best idea.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
A bridge too far, r you chew, over ambitious, spread
yourself a little thing.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, all those things. Yeah, not always the biggest. It's
very difficult, and you got to that point to get stars. Man,
but then you're committed and it's well, now he's have
to make the best of this. Darius Slay, who is
defensive back for the Philadelphia Eagles, did an interview about
sixteen hours ago in which he was asked about the
(05:53):
first game in Brazil coming up on Friday, because don't
forget we have Thursday night football and then we have
Friday night football in bridze Zil. The first game, and
I mean this game is in South America. This is
the NFL's here for the first time, and we're getting
the Packers and the Eagles, which is a really good game. Hey,
we're throwing this out there, so what's it like, what's
(06:13):
it going to be like? How do they feel about
playing the first game ever in Brazil? Well, here is
Darius Slay who did this interview, and I think he's
going to be elected the new director of Tourism for
the country of Brazil because here's what he has been
told about the game.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
We were not am looking forward to it. I can't wait.
But man, I do not want to go to Brazil.
And you want to know why. I'm going to tell
you why. They already told us not to lead a hotel.
They told us we can't do too much going on
because it's the crowd rate. It's crazy, you know what
I'm saying. I'm like, NFL, why do you all want
to send us somewhere with the crowd rate this high?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And like we got the.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Country, so you know, the first thing people think is
like something terbor can possibly happen.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I told my family do not come down there because
I'm not gonna know where to be found. That would
be in a hotel, chilling mount of my business playing
my gay at the loan nine and a half hour flight,
so I don't have no intentions on doing thathing, I'm
gonna eat hotel food, I'm doing everything. But they said, yeah, man,
it'll be pretty crazy down there.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Uh police said they gonna be you know, try to
be the best. They could possibly be, the top flight
security of the world, create you know what I'm saying.
So we hope for that, man, But I'll do go
down there to come down there with a win.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't wait for week one, but man, I do
not want to go to prison.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And then they're gonna transport us to the stadium in
the Popemobile.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Remember the crazy Remember the misinformation in the game of
Telephone that went on over the color Green?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's three months ago. Wait,
what do you mean, well, both teams are in Green.
Oh that's unfortunately it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Was all about crime. It's like, no, it's actually think
about the soccer team. We should have either way once
that get got out and everybody started getting nervous.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
There should have had the bucks in the Browns. That's
my fault and I'll take responsibility for that. SI we're
bringing into Green Tea.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Like this, like it'd be great international travel. We're gonna
get an international game. This would be great. Family's never
been abroad, they've never seen Germany, they've never seen London,
they've never been in.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
They're not gonna see in Brazil. You're not leaving a hotel.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well no, But the point is, oh, where do we
get sent We got sent to Brazil. Yeah you can't go?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, no, at least at least if you're the NFL.
How about if you can't leave like an all inclusive resort,
So you can't leave, but you can still have a
good time on vacation.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
But he's I want the leaks of whatever official communications
coming from the league about the things they stay in
the hotel. You know this, stay in the hotel is
the first bullet points in the five page document. First
rule about the Brazil game, Stay in the hotel. Second
rule about the Brazil game, Stay in the hotel. I
(08:53):
know this is the NFL at this point. This is
where it's at, because is this gonna be awful? This
means that we're going to get stuff like this all
the time. No, at this point in time, the NFL
is saying, look, do us a solid play the game
and we won't send you guys back to Brazil again.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, we understand what we're doing to you. We won't
send you out of country again. Just play this game
and be cool about it, because look, I get what
the NFL is doing, much like they're doing with the
streaming partners, right, they're trying them out over the next
five years. Right, we're signing small deals with Amazon, with
other places Peacock to give you some football games. And
(09:30):
we're trying things out because we know by the time
we get close to twenty thirty that it's going to
be streaming rights for all NFL games.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
We want to know that if we're entrusting our product
to streaming and we're going to cash that multi billion
dollar check, we want to know we're actually putting the
product in good hands. So they're trying. That's why they
didn't say, hey, look at this, Amazon wants to give
us all this money for the AFC. We're going to
do it. You know. That's why they're sitting here and saying, Okay,
we're going to try a bunch of different places out.
It's the same thing here, fellas. Look, we have to
(10:01):
continue to try to go global. We've we've worked things
out in London pretty well. We've worked things out in Germany.
Now pretty well, we have to go to South America.
This doesn't mean suddenly, hey, well you guys made it.
We're gonna send two more teams down to Brazil. They
may never go down to Brazil again, but they're gonna
continue to try to find new places where they can
grow the NFL. So that's really what this is about.
This is this isn't a huge money grant. Well, obviously
(10:23):
they're getting money, but this is not one of those
we're blindly grabbing money and putting players in danger. We
are we you know, we're doing this because we want
to continue to grow the game. Some games are better
than others, and I wish it wouldn't be if you're
at the point where you're saying, hey, stay in the hotel,
like dude, you're you're killing us with this. You owe us.
The Eagles and the Packers have to say, guys, you
owe us. We open at home for the next three years. Okay,
we each of us opened at home for the next
(10:44):
like you gotta. We'll do you a solid here and
we'll play this game and we'll tell Darius Lay dude,
no more interviews, right, you're killing Brazil. No one wants
to go. It's enough that they have killer spiders there.
They're as big as my head. Like it's not now,
I a.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Reading an article about a knife wielding monkey that was
taken over a town really in Brazil. Wow, okay, and
then they're taking over a town and then they got
him away from the and then he came back.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You just watch that's gonna be in the Cocaine Bear
universe of movies. Now, well, the shark Cocaine Bear, and yeah,
the Shark's coming. It's gonna be the knife wielding monkey,
and there's gonna be It's all gonna be in that
world there. Man just gonna keep dropping cocaine on different animals. Man,
and see what happens. That's what it's gonna be. Well,
I mean, watch out, scientific experimentation. That's how we learn
be great. If they use the same Matthew Reece Davis,
the same guy in every movie, and they just use
(11:29):
the same thing where he's flying in the plane, he
hits his head as he sorry spoiler, he hits his
head as he goes out and everything falls out. It's
just on something different that the opening movie is the
exact same. You know, every movie open to the exact same.
He falls out, he hits his head, and now this
is Cocaine Bear. This is Cocaine Monkey. This is what
you never know what you're gonna get. No shows up
on cable TV as a wild card. Oh, it's like, which.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
One am I getting?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Press a button? He goes, But Cocaine Bear, get the bear?
The original?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Did I get the boar?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
The Cocaine boar a little bit more low to the ground.
There's a lot of force perspective the way that's shot,
because the boar is really low to the ground. But
I mean, look, this is it's it's unfortunate for the NFL,
and I get there's gonna be a lot of criticism
for the NFL for playing this game. Look, I'm sure
when they decided on this, they didn't know it was
going to be this way, and it's something they tried.
Hopefully they'll be a little bit better in the future.
(12:24):
But this doesn't mean suddenly we're going to go the
reason behind it. I understand why they're trying to.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Even doing this, Like, you know, reputation, not the Taylor
Swift album, but the idea of where you're going in
the world. You're not naive, like you know, crime statistics.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I don't want to go to Brazil.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I kind of do.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, there's a lot of topless beaches in Brazil. I
think all the beaches are topless. Actually if I'm not,
I don't know if if you want to add, but
I think there's combination topless beaches with the killer spiders.
So you really it's it's you gotta pay attention. Falling
asleep on the beach is very days. I'm just gonna
say I think the beach wins.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Over the spiders.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Of the spiders.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You know, you try to get a Shatner movie in it,
and you try.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
To run into the water, but there's the water spiders
that come out and are actually bigger because of the
radioactive material that was jumped into the to the to
the water by a guy with the headset wasn't paying attention.
And so now here's underwater spiders.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What you did not if the look they're creating a
whole universe, but it's the idea that you already know
what you're going into. And and maybe the players weren't
as in tune. Yeah, the League office, there's no surprises,
Danny of this, No and.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They're they're hoping play the game. Everybody when the plane,
when the planes land, all right, we're good when they
land back, and that we're good. We're good, and they'll
be make goods and whatever, and but no, but fin
start treatment. But the biggest takeaway from here is the
Eagles and the Packers say, Okay, you're now gonna do
this for us, right, We're gonna we're gonna get Thanksgiving
(13:56):
Day games, We're gonna get home games beginning. We're gonna
get this. We're gonna You're not gonna put us on
hard knocks.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We're gonna do all. We're gonna. We're playing this game.
And you told us it's too dangerous to go outside,
so you're gonna give us something back. Now that that's
where you really need to understand. This is where we
have leverage. But like the whole.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Green controversy, I want to know what the verbiage was.
Was it coming from the league or someone of the
team just decided to strike fear And these guys look
because they don't want to open one for potential chaos
that way. But the other of hey, they find a
nice party crowd and all of a sudden they're not
back at their hotels and they're not ready for game day, right,
(14:35):
because that's the other part that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Flows through it.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So maybe there's a little uh Vegas misdirection going on
as well. It's like, I don't know if the league
really I mean, do we get the Troy McClure tape
of Ah, you're in Brazil. Here things you need to
know about wandering away from your hotel, exit out, a
bout of Fresca, exit swelling down. The Jason Smith Show
(14:58):
with my best friend Mike Carmin the tire dot Com Studios,
So Eagles Packers hold out, get everything everything from the
NFL before you play this game.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's gonna work.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Welcome back in Jason Smith Show with Me Mike Carmon
live fromth tirerac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios. Less
than forty eight hours will be either it's stolling the
virtues or cursing NFL players and teams and fantasy decisions
that you made. But in the interim I got Smith
(16:06):
dancing down the hallway if you was the bets one.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
If you are cursing fantasy decisions after the first game
of the season, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Don't you normally do that before you leave your draft? Anyway,
at least twice I hate my team.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh yeah yeah, but see I always like my team
after it's done.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
See. I generally have one or two guys where I'm
immediately like something has already pushed me down a deep
dark path that I've screwed up a position.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Hands of it, you said, going down a deep dark path.
Well that's my life right now. That gets us to
our next guest joining us now in the hot Line
longtime MLW network insider, friend of the show, co host
of Stearns Hey and the Pope, The Morning Show sweeping
the Country. Oh yeah, he's on Twitter at John Morosi.
It is the aforementioned John Paul Morosi. Pope. What's happening, man?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I'm doing great, my friends. I wonder which of you
will have I'm on Ross Saint Brown starting for them
in the first first week.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Of the season. Got to have a top five pick
to get him. Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Now, now tell us the truth. Did you just look
up who that was right before you came on the
air with us?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
No, No, you forget, you forget. Every week last year
I predicted they would win twenty seven to fourteen, and
I watched eagerly to see if I'd be correct, and
a couple of times I was. I felt pretty good.
I think about it. You the Lion had a great season.
(17:33):
I predicted him to win every single week, and so
by that measure, I was well above five hundred as
a as a pro football predictor.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You picked them to score twenty seven points every week.
Every week there was maybe in a short week, yeah,
short were coming back on Thursday, short week twenty four points.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Okay, well, I act go back think about how many
times they actually hit twenty seven. There were definitely I
actually remember this. I was I was driving to I
was driving to Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame reveal
(18:13):
in mid January as Lions were playing the Buccaneers in
the playoffs, and I remember I literally exited off of
a small town in New York because they were about
to win that game twenty seven to fourteen or whatever.
It was close, and I basically said, I need to
call into Fox Sports Radio at this moment in time
(18:35):
and just like Mark, mark the history, because I was
almost going to be right. And as I look at
it right now, it looks like they scored. Yeah, they
never scored twenty seven, but they did score twenty six
against the Raiders on October thirty, and then it'll win.
So I was close.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, now you mentioned history. Now I have to
throw this by. I know, Harmon said, oh, in to me,
John Paul's not going to want to talk about. Buddy's
going to have to because it's a thing. It's no
longer a question of if. But just by how many losses,
the White Sox set the record for worst record in
MLB history if I put the over under for losses
(19:12):
of them at one hundred and twenty five, John Paul,
are you taking the over or the under at this point?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
The over the over. It's unbelievable, really, and its it's
actually remarkable at the and this is just sort of
part of the sports fans mindset. How we've got Otani
at a bid for fifty to fifty and Judge nearing
sixty homers. Again, all of these big market teams involved
(19:41):
in fascinating division races, and yet the White Sox are
one of the most fascinating stories in baseball, and people
forget Grady Sizemore is the manager of this team. And
at some point I almost want him to just put
himself into the game and pitch it himself for someone.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, yeah, just just like when Corbyn Burns and activated
himself in Major League two when he owned.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
The type we're getting. We're getting to that point because
at least at least set some other records. I supposed
to just the losses. Let's see the first player manager
in the major leagues in a couple two or three decades.
This would be fun, But the guys the play tonight.
(20:29):
The myths pop up. It's just it keeps going and
going with no apparent end in sight. I'll say this though,
sometimes when when you get right up to the end
of it, strange things will happen. The Tigers in three,
you know, in a game that would have tied them
(20:49):
with the sixty two Mets, they were losing eight nothing
to a team that won the division and the Twins,
and the Tigers came back and won that game nine
to eight. Uh and so.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Sometimes, yeah, I don't know how strange I was John
Paul as if Wow, really they came back that much
down to win that game and that was all on
were legit and above board. Yeah, that was the game
that always struck me as.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Hey, hey, lift, how.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Legit was that?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I think that was a legitimately one game by the
Detroit Tigers of Alan Trammel and I believe when you
looked at that at that roster, more than a handful
of players when they played that last game, that was
the last game they ever played in the major leagues.
That was that was it? I think? Uh yeah. Warren Morris.
(21:41):
Warren Morris batted second for the Tigers in Game one
sixty two, started at second base and never played in
the major leagues again. He batted second in that game?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Wow, that's piece of knowledge for it is right.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That is art trivia, all right. So as we get
down the stretch, right, we're talking about health and everything else.
Are we going to see Clay Gershaw again before the
season ends?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
My goodness, that is a massive question. And I think
you could also in this overall conversation about the Dodgers
pitching staff, you could put Glassnow's name in that blank. Now,
I think Yamamoto is getting a little closer, so there's
a little more positivity. And by the way, tonight, for me,
I realized a lot of focus on the return of
(22:27):
Otani to Orange County. But for me, the fact that
Walker Bueler was able to give them at least five
solid innings was really important for them. He's not the
ace or the co ace that got them to the
World Series in twenty twenty, but they need some more
stability in this rotation, and with Kershaw, the struggles for
(22:49):
him to even it sounds like, walk comfortably and just
do basic athletic things. It's a real struggle right now
for Kershaw and the Dodgers. So it's hard to guess,
but I would I would say it's no more than
just a flip of the coin, somewhat distant possibility that
(23:11):
we see him as as a difference maker for them
in October. And that's what the standard is here. It's
not can we hope and see if maybe he comes
back for a couple of innings in October. That's not
who they need. It's apparent to me right now that
the guy they were hoping he would be that his
body's just not letting him do it. And that's not
(23:33):
his fault, it's not anyone's fault. It's just that's that's
where he's at physically right now. And so for the Dodgers,
if they're going to advance, it's gonna have to be
with Stone and potentially even Mueller, but certainly Yamamoto. They
hope Glass, now, they hope Clarity. That's gonna be the
group that has to get them through. And I think
(23:54):
Kershaw at this point is a bonus if everything goes perfectly.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The MLB Network Insider with us to Jason Smiths and
with Mike Carmon Live the tyrec dot Com studios. All right,
John Paul, I will ask this even though I know
we're going to lose a listener because my dad is
going to turn off the radio. I want to ask
this question, Uh, the Yankees, Oh boy, Clay Holmes blows
his eleventh save of the season tonight a walk off
Grand Slam. Rangers beat the Yankees seven to four. For
(24:23):
all the positives the Yankees have going for them, they
they just seem to find new ways to to get
a leak in their ship. And now the back end
of the bullpen has been so unbelievably shaky. Where do
you make where the Yankees are right.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Now with this? This is an issue that is not
going away for them. And you think back and there
have been other teams. I reflect back on Brad Ledge
with the Nine Phillies. They're able to get to the
World Series still, but you had a really good closer,
great closer who just had a really bad year in
(24:58):
Lydge's case, and it feels like the same thing as
happening with Holmes. And in this case, again, you're so
far into the season now, the trade deadline is well
passed us. They don't if they had a better option
in the ninth inning, they would have gone to him
by now, that's that's what I'm seeing. They've they've cycled
through different options and during the course of the year,
(25:20):
signing players who were discarded elsewhere. It's and I think
part of it too, is their rotation at the moment
is not really built to give you seven innings every
time out. They're they're having to go earlier with some
of their their bridge pitchers to give them options, and
I think it's it's left the situation where they need
(25:42):
Holmes to be great, and he simply hasn't been. And now,
of course a comfortable win for the Orioles tonight over
the White Sox, the Orioles now are the team where
the half game lead in the American League East, which
I did not expect to be saying right now. I
thought there were moments in the last couple of weeks
where I felt as though the Yankee were starting to
get a little bit of separation and and things going
(26:03):
in their direction. But I just think there's not enough,
not nearly enough certainty with this bullpen. I think Kinley's
been good for them during the course of the year. Weaver,
I think, has been a guy that's given them multiple
innings and very very solidly so but Tonkin has already
been moved on. Tim Hill to the Lefty is having now
a more prominent role. Mark Leider Junior has been. Really
(26:26):
I think a little disappointing is coming over at the
trade trade deadline that they brought Tim Maza back in
from the Blue Jays. There's a lot of guys they're
counting on and really none of whom I feel are
necessarily what they need. And they also have to hope
they get something back from from Louise Heeler or Schmidt
because they could potentially be options for them in the playoffs.
(26:47):
But again they're still both on the IL. So a
lot of questions right now for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Maybe they just moved Daverghetty to close it your problems.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
He could do both right there. Strategy worked with with
Mario Rivera, Ramiro Mendoza once upon a time. Get that
very few us. How about that you did not think
that this conversation would include I'm on Ross Saint Brown
and Ramiro Mendoza. I'd say that we have the odds
(27:17):
yet again.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah. Ramiro Mendoza though one of those great middle relievers.
When hold Morris by the way, Warren Moore and Warren Morris.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
There's there's your checking never playing again in the major
leagues after the final game of three.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
All right, JP, last one Big NFL previews show forty
eight hours until we get things kicked off. We're doing
surprise playoff teams.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
You got one or two for us surprise playoff teams
in the National Football League. You're saying, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Or you want to do surprise playoff teams in Major
League Baseball?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I know if you let's do either one of this.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
In in in Major League Baseball? Could I even say
that that that in this case, the Mets are still
a surprise, Yeah, because because to me, they have all
the momentum right now. Jason the Francisco Lindora, I think
what he's been able to do has been really impressive
of late. The thirty homer season the fifth of his career.
(28:11):
Only A Rod has more thirty homer seasons as a
primary shortstop. So good on Lindor. Actually, the Tigers are
are sort of that peripheral team that might actually be
be one that that makes some noise late. I still
think it's a long shot, but they're playing a lot better.
All Right, here we go. So long shot NFL playoff teams.
(28:33):
All right, this will be preserved only if I'm correct.
If I'm wrong, then it's just among friends. Right. So
I've got I've got the Cleveland Browns being they're they're
They're may be on the cusp of being a solid
playoff team, but they seem to be at least a
little bit down in the Super Bowl odds. So I've
got I'm gonna go all Midwest here, the Cleveland Browns
(28:56):
and the Chicago Bears. I've got the Bears. I know that,
you know, the change over it at quarterback in the
last couple of years. I get that, But I think
that they will find a way with this new energy
around the Bears to squeak into the playoffs. That's it's
a long shot prediction, but that's what you ask for.
So I've got the Bears and the Browns as both
being playoff teams this year.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
How about that you and me both have the Bears, buddy, Yeah,
I feel pretty good, JP, I feel.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Pretty good about that.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Like and by the way, this game on Saturday at
Michigan Stadium, I tend to think Texas wins it twenty
to thirteen. That's why that's my Texas twenty Michigan thirteen.
Just to prove to you that this is not just
pro Detroit and pro Michigan bias on this. On this conversation,
I'm predicting a seven point Longhorns win.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morosi,
MLB Network insider Extraordinaire John Paul. I sent you a
note for the next time you talk to Sternsey. Nice
job in the pitching lab with David Peterson. You don't
give up on left handed pitchers. Very nice.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I will let him know, David Peterson, the change up
has been better, the sinker has been better. And I
had no idea, by the way, that the current spread
for that Texas Michigan game was Texas minus seven and
a half. I just I just thought, there you go,
seven point win for the Longhorns.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I see you, buddy, you enjoyed the games this weekend.
There goes John pal Morosi. I mean, wait that the
Tigers are right on the Royals tail. I mean they
have played Look, this is what when you get to
September if you're playing five hundred baseball. And I don't
mean like five games under. No, if you were right,
if you're a game over at five, you are in it.
(30:34):
You're in it. That's how it works in baseball. Now
you're the Tiger, Like, whoa, we're talking about how hot
the Royal's been. Look at the Tigers, man, Holy crap,
I mean they're right.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
There, one game over five hundred, entering the night four
and a half games off the pace into for that
first wild card slot.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith's
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon lock from the Tireck dot Com Studios. And Uh,
there's been a big trend the last few years in
sports where somebody young made a mistake, many potentially gave
somebody pink GUYE we don't know, allegedly and that story allegedly,
(31:28):
and that story would be hidden until the moment where
said person does something really good and Toda, it goes public.
Today was that day for USC quarterback Miller Moss, who
had an incredible opening game, the poise that he showed
(31:49):
his patience in the pocket, the way he delivered the ball,
he was fantastic. Us. He's going to be just fine
without Caleb Williams. Today's story breaks and it's a couple
of years old at this point, and there's video of
it on TMZ, and it's documented that Miller Moss had
an incident with a roommate a couple of years ago,
(32:10):
and there's video of Miller Moss doing things in his
room with his roommate's belongings that you don't want to
see people do. He's rummaging through a closet looking for clothes.
He says, I'm going to steal his shirt and wear
his roommate's shirt. And at one point, he grabs a
pillow off his roommate's bed and farts on it. And
(32:31):
because I keep thinking, actually, I keep thinking about knocked
up when they knock on the door. Yeah, sorry, we're
all here. You know, Jay farted on my pillow and
now we all have pink guy, and I just keep
thinking of that sea when that shirt. Hey, none of
us can go out. Uh. So this story gets released
today and it's shocking that you think, Wow, how long
(32:52):
has this story been out there? Could have released, this
story could have got out it anytime, even after the
Bowl game last year. It could have got yeah moment, man,
but now here is maybe, Oh, we'll wait for something bigger.
And now to no one's surprised this story that has
been held on too by whoever. Now it gets out
to not excusing Miller Moss, not excusing for going through
(33:12):
your roommate stuff. Makes me think what happened when I
was out in a room. Me and my roommate didn't
get a lot. In my freshman year, I had two roommates.
I was in a triple because I was stupid. Oh
note to self, when you're applying for colleges, they say
what you want out of a roommate. You don't want
a roommate who smokes, and you don't want to You
don't want two roommates. You want to make sure one
roommate and no smoking. That's you want. So I, me
and my one roommate, we couldn't get along at all.
(33:32):
Like he was just he would he would argue things
without logic, and it just drove me crazy. And that's
the one The one thing I've never really had patience
for is someone who doesn't have logic when they talk
about things. And we didn't get along at all. And
there's times when I'm like, how many times has I
gone from the room? Need do any do anything?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
And right now I'm fully expecting Twitter to blow up
at how about a fresco? I had swollen your last statements.
But certainly, yeah, it's there's that element of risk with
all of it, Right, It's the same thing you go
through the drive through how many videotapes do you need
to see that there's that point zero zero one point
zero zero two percent chance that someone there's some malfeasons
(34:11):
going on with your beverage or something else. It's out
there and you just trust that people are going to
be on their better behavior. Best is always way too yeah,
because you can't ask for best. You can ask for better,
but best is too much. But in this case, yeah,
it's it's the kind of thing where tabloid journalism still
(34:31):
still sells, but the timing of it is impeccable. USC
jumps ten spots in the rankings, They get a huge win.
Moss had bought bided his time quite well. Learning had
the bowl game, and now as USC gets ready for
this next next big test, sure let's get that story out.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
It's just it's just insane when I think of it,
this like and this is stuff that there's of it.
I mean, you're a quarterback of the football team. Man,
don't take video doing stuff like that. Like, first of all,
don't do stuff like that. Well, in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Four, one of your roommates, if you're in a multi situation,
probably has the room rigged in case they like think
you're stealing their stuff or messing with them. M hm,
So that night vision camera would be coming into effect anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
But really, when I saw the story, I'm like, oh, man,
he used to pull the guy's pillow. And I really
I went back to freshman year. I said, we fought
about everything because the guy. I mean I I couldn't.
He couldn't. I couldn't have a sensical conversation with him
about stuff. It was maddening. It was so maddening.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He ever gets really sick that year, and I really
understand how or why.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Maybe I did it some point, bring you some homemade
foods on a trip home.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
No, I would have never taken home. I would have
never taken homemade food. No, never, would have never done that.
I'm to borrow from Charlie Sheen and eight men out.
I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid, all right,
I'm not. I'm not going to do that. But I
really I started thinking about all the times I was away,
I had an electric blanket, and I had different things
and wouldn't and I don't. I don't know. I don't
(36:09):
know why I thought. I I just thought about is
just a roommate.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I don't relate to all those folks that might have
thought ill of you at any point in your life. Yeah,
but how many of them had access to my Not
many of them had access to my room when I
wasn't there, well in a dorm? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
What I was? That guy hated you? You didn't have
to worry about just him? Oh no, no, no, fred
Oh he didn't have a lot of friends.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
No, doesn't need a lot. He needs one because they
might have a lot of friends. What see? And then,
why why are you.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Doing this to me?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You're getting now I feel even worse, Hetchel pink guy.
From now, I'm going to the doctor right now. So on,
I'm gonna go to the doctor. I want you, it's
like an house. I want you to check me for
something that happened twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Can you check for that? Did you go swimming in
a pond sometime in the last thirty years? Yes? Oh,
